La Poularde de Houdan sur Houdan

14/02/2026: Superb restaurant. Excellent Valentine's Day meal. Always a very pleasant atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

12/02/2026: The place is cute and the food is good. The atmosphere and service, however, are rather selective and slow to arrive. The order-taking process was off-putting and far from welcoming. The comments were more than a little inappropriate in tone. We arrived almost first, yet waited an hour for our main course. I can understand a lack of staff in the kitchen, but not the lack of tact in the service. Remaining silent and with a meaningful look, the service softened later on… however, I didn't have a good time. Perhaps it was just not that person's day; in any case, other customers were fortunate enough to receive immediate attention. It's fortunate that one young man remained even-tempered and pleasant. I feel I can make this comment as I am in the same line of work. My aunts were pleasant and had a good sense of humor, so the fact that someone else treated them so rudely displeased me greatly. Many customers deserve to be treated as such. But even those who are unpleasant should be treated with at least 90% professionalism, not 50%, and even more so when the customers themselves are pleasant and smiling.
